My name is Elvira!

Our adoption process starts with our marketing team, From there, it transitions into the actual adoption application, 3 pages of application and the actual adoption contract / agreement. Home checks can be done when questionable. Vet references are always checked, and the individuals are also background checked for any animal related charges. AMMAR, rescues dogs from shelters up and down the east coast regardless of medical conditions. We then treat or rehabilitate these animals to ready them for their new lives. We also accept owner surrenders. In addition, we also rescue litters of puppies or mothers waiting to whelp that litter. Our adoption fees are generally in the $200-$400 range, this is written into our corporate bylaws. AMMAR also has transport assistance to get these hounds to their new homes. Generally, at no additional charge to the adopter.
